Yellow Be Gone!!!!!

Before I start talking about our redoing our kitchen which is a start but the bathroom and basement will follow.  I have stitched and will post later about that.
My hubby has decided to redo the kichen and is doing a great job!  In this first photo you see it is all yellow!

Yellow Be Gone!

Here are some pics of what he has done so far!  It is a work in progress and he wants it done before our annual Christmas Party on Christmas Day!

Here you see the red oak cupbards on the top along with my awesome black double ovens on the right.  Oh yea! and the lighting he has put in over the cupboards.  No doors as of yet : )

Here it is at another angle.  You can see the old white stove to the right.  That will be history really soon!

another angle

You can see here the island to the left that will be totally changed, quite soon!

Hope everyone is doing well and getting alot of stitching done!  Just needed to share why I have not been stitching lately!  Along with the back to school shopping, lol!

So far I am Beating The 100 Stitch Challange! Yeah!!!! : )

I have been stitching alot this month!  I have stitched 1829 stitches so far this month so I am ahead with 229 stitches!  I believe I will beat the challange this month!  Here is the progress I have made so far this month.

I put 1261 stitches in Fred!  Finished another book and stitched another shelf.

I am in a Halloween SAL and started Stoney Creek's Kitty with Jack O Lantern Towel.  Was able to put in 325 stitches

I am also in a Kustom Krafts Mystery SAL and was able to put in 125 stitches.  This one is slow going but the colors are so pretty!  Here is what was already stitched.

Here is what I was able to get stitched, not alot but progress

This next progress is for Stoney Creeks O Holy Night Devine.  Was able to put in 143 stitches. 

I know the color looks green but it should be blue.  Hopefuly I can fiqure out how to fix that for my next update lol.

So I am so excited that I just might make the challange this month, yippeee ; )

Have a great stitching week everyone!

WOW!!! Nothing Posted Since July 19th!!! My Bad!

This summer is going by way to fast!!!!  I have been stitching but wasn't able to get my 100 stitch challange completed for July, not even close!  To many fun in the sun days : )  The weather has been just beautiful here!  To make the challange I was supposed to have 3100 stitches done as of yesterday, but only managed 1339.  So fell 1761 stitches behind this month.  O Well, I'll try to do better this month!  The two projects I stitched on was Frederick and another UFO called Autumn Gathering Place by Stoney Creek.  Here is the progress I made this month

I have AN Update On Frederick!

I have done some stitching on Fred.  Not as much as I wanted to but something to show : )  I was able to finish one book and also just about another book.  I have finished pg 1 and going to page 2.  As far as the 100 stitch Day Challange this month, not doing well!  I was able to put 377 more stitches since the last update.  So For the month that makes 752 stitches< I think this is my worst month ever!  I need 1148 stitches as of today to catch up and I dont think that is possible, lol.  Well, we will see what happens : )  Here is my update....

Well No Stitching Update But A Cute Pic Of My Kitties!

I just Had to share a Picture I took of two of my kitties.  You can see Buddy on the left, that is a feral cat I rescued and then there is Felice.  Remember the movie from Disney called Homeward Bound and the dogs.  Felice is just like the character of Chance the buuldog, lol.  You know slow but Ill get there type of attitude. : )  Well, here is the pic I took

Buddy is still feral in some ways but domesticated in a few.  He has come along way from his caged days.  I love him dearly if not more than my other babies.  Tough trying to survive outside where no domesticated cat is meant to be.  Please spay and  neuter your babies before they escape to the outside world.
  Please do not take this as boastering or being prideful but I have rescued 4 cats in the past 4 months that were feral, meaning they were born in the wild and fighting to survive in the wild.  I trapped them with a humane trap, fed them, took them to the vet, had them neutered two were released and two are now part of our family.  Mind you the cost was over 600 dollars.  Buddy excepts petting now but you have to be very slow at approaching him.  Felice is a Oh Humm kind of kitty, laid back and loves everyone.  Felice does not want anything to do with the outside word anymore but Buddy still ventures out a couple of times a day but never at night.
I will never stop fighting for these kitties that are out there because this is truly not where they want to be.
Hug your furbaby tonight because they are safe and warm and do not need to worry about anything : )

I Am So Behind On My 100 Stitch Challange For July!

I think it is because of all the parties 3 in the past week and a half!  I am ready today to relax and stitch!  Well, here is my update.  I have stitched 375 stitches so far for this month only 625 stitches behind, lol.  So now for the update.  This is the last update

Here is my new update for July

You can see I have finished half of Fred half of another book.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful stitching day!

Nice Beautiful Day Today But Hurting!!!

Such a beautiful day today and not a cloud in the sky!  Woke up at 7:30 am cleaned the house and got all the chores out of the way, awesome!!  No it is pool time!  At 12:00 pm went to the pool, what a beautiful day!  Fell a sleep on my raft and now I am hurting : (  Bad sunburn on my back and legs.  Never realized how long I was sleeping but it was over two hours.  I am now bathing myself with aloe.  I think I will be ok, just hurtting a little.  I am stitching on Frederick tonight, what a pain, black on black again!  Enjoy your stitching and have a great 4th of July!!!
